   Sometimes we do complex stuff just for the sake of learning, and that's the essence of why we have home labs.

   I built a Fedora container image (for an Ansible execution environment), from inside an Ubuntu container, that is running inside another Ubuntu container (Forgejo runner), while all of them were using the same underlying Docker-in-Docker, running from a Docker Compose (where Forgejo and the Runner also are), on a Debian base OS, on a Raspberry Pi.

   Did I need to do that? Absolutely not. Did I like doing it? Obviously yes!

   Now I just need to find the time and the head space to write a blog post about it. 😄

     @badnetmask It takes a special passion (can you believe that some folks have the nerve to call it masochism?!) to do the things we do.

     @badnetmask Sounds completely legitimate to me! Nothing to see here! :)

     Fun! While writing a blog post about my findings related to Forgejo runner and Docker-in-Docker, I realized I made a few mistakes, and was able to fix them.

     So that proves that old saying: the best way to learn, is to teach.

     Ugh! I created a complication for my own self.

     While writing a blog post about my findings related to Forgejo runner, I realized that I also needed a runner to build x86 (amd64) images. So now I am adding a lot more steps to my setup.

     The blog post has been severely delayed.

     @badnetmask this unfortunately sounds like a custom job. Ether way, by container, you want an OCI container with docker in it? Or a VM?

     @badnetmask this would be really easy to setup in NixOS though.

     @badnetmask@hachyderm.io this is why I'll probably be looking at woodpecker when I get to that point, needing docker-in-docker is an immediate non-starter for me

     @badnetmask At Codeberg, we have set the ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:act-22.04 image by default, which has quite some tools built-in (not sure if it covers your needs).
